New York City

Ask any New Yorker who has taken a bus recently how they've felt about the experience, and many will tell you the same thing: They're too slow for their liking. The broad dissatisfaction with New York City's bus system became a big part of the mayoral campaign itself. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wants not only to make the buses free, but also to make them faster.

A mother and son were discovered mummified inside a Brooklyn apartment on Wednesday afternoon - after residents reported a troubling smell wafting through the building for days, according to sources and authorities. The 80-year-old woman and 52-year-old man were discovered by officers who entered the building on the corner of Jay Street and Tillary Street in Downtown Brooklyn for a wellness check just before 1 p.m., according to the NYPD.

New Yorkers love a historic landmark, and College Point's Poppenhusen Institute has always been one of those gems that locals know is special. Now, the 1868 structure-already listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected as a city landmark-has emerged from a $6.2 million restoration. The city unveiled the completed restoration at a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week, marking the latest milestone in an ongoing, multi-phase effort to preserve one of Queens' most significant cultural hubs.

Near Prospect Park, this top-floor Windsor Terrace co-op has a roomy layout with six closets, parquet, and a renovated kitchen and bath. For those looking to spread out, this Windsor Terrace apartment has six closets, two bedrooms, and a roomy layout. The roominess does come with a price, but the unit at 71 Ocean Parkway also has a renovated kitchen and bath, wood floors, and some treetop views.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani was elected as the new mayor of New York City on November 4, marking a ground-breaking win for a number of underrepresented groups. It was a home run for Democratic Socialists, whose platform Mamdani has championed since starting his career for public office. It was also a win for minorities, with Mamdani becoming the city's first Muslim and Indian-Ugandan mayor.More than anything, though, it was a sweeping victory for soccer fanatics.

A long-planned vision for Harlem became reality Wednesday with the opening of the Urban League Empowerment Center, a $242 million, 414,000-square-foot hub that blends housing, history, and hope on 125th Street. The project, led by the National Urban League, brings the organization's national headquarters back to Harlem, the neighborhood where the League rose to prominence more than a century ago.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani is a Ugandan-born immigrant of Indian descent, raised Shia Muslim in an interfaith household in Morningside Heights. The novelty of his origins has broad appeal. As Zenat Begum, Brooklynite and founder of Bed-Stuy's coffeehouse and community space Playground, put it, "He is a walking concoction of every New Yorker in one person." Still, one trait is all too familiar in this city's political imagination-his Muslimness.

There are days where I'm in pain [doing] that walking, plus packages will be that much rougher for me, you know, to walk that extra two or three blocks,

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade enchants audiences each November as it cascades down the 2.5-mile route toward the Macy's Herald Square flagship store. From the iconic giant floating balloons, to celebrity appearances and classic Broadway performances, there's something for everyone to enjoy on this joyous morning. Many dream of attending the parade in person but aren't sure where to start.

A pair of vicious pit bulls have terrorized a Coney Island building for months, killing one innocent pup and mangling two more, outraged pet owners said Wednesday. The latest attack took place Sunday morning when a French bulldog, Calypso, had just gotten back to Coney Island Commons - and one of the pit bulls snatched the tiny dog in its mouth and made it go limp. "It grabbed her by the head and shook her around like a rabbit," owner Diane Bradley, 56, recalled to The Post.

The NYPD said the suspect, sometimes working with an accomplice, has approached victims on scooters or mopeds, brandishing a firearm and demanding jewelry, cash, or bikes. The robberies have occurred since mid-September in broad daylight across multiple precincts, from the South Bronx to the Upper East Side, Midtown, and Lower Manhattan. The spree began on September 14, when two men on a two-wheeled vehicle approached a 31-year-old man at Clay Avenue and East 167th Street in the Bronx, displayed a gun,

Mamdani's run was barely a blip then, but Califano sensed the swell of something shifting. He asked Mamdani's communications director if he could follow the campaign behind the scenes (and on his own dime) for a long-term documentary project. They said yes, and over the next nine months, Califano embedded himself within Zohran's team, photographing everything from union rallies to neighborhood canvassers to Ramadan iftars among aunties. He burned through more than 100 rolls of film in the process.

Beginning Nov. 13 on the Q6, Bx20, Bx3 and Bx7 bus routes, vehicles improperly using busways and bus lanes, blocking bus stops or illegally double parked will be fined. Fines start at $50 but can be as much as $250 for repeat offenders. These additional bus lines total 47 routes that are currently enforced with ACE. More than 1,400 buses are now ACE-equipped. They cover 545 miles of routes that serve around 840,000 daily bus riders.

A 32-year-old man was arrested for crashing a stolen FedEx truck and attempting to steal an ambulance. It all happened on Sunday, just after 2 p.m. Police responded to a call of a FedEx truck that was stolen at 606 Carroll St. Domanique Bullock is accused of getting in a parked FedEx and pushing the 25-year-old driver out of the truck before fleeing in the vehicle.

A major decision facing Mayor-elect Mamdani will be to select a new Department of Transportation Commissioner. The scope of the assignment is vast as is its impact. Transportation is an issue confronted by every New Yorker, every day - and we are all experts. Every Mayor since Mike Bloomberg has been engaged in the mission to reimagine how we move people to reduce our dependence on private cars and to focus instead on public transit, bikes and walking, and under Mayor de Blasio, a similar effort began to reimagine how we move freight - both to and within the city - to reduce our embarrassing over-dependence on large trucks and instead to use our original highways, the waterways, as well as rail and small, environmentally friendly vehicles.

When Zohran Mamdani stunned New York City's political establishment by defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary and winning the mayoral election last week, much of the attention focused on his viral social media presence and charismatic appeal to young voters. But behind the 34-year-old assemblyman's historic victory was a strategic mind who helped reshape how the campaign connected with voters: Zara Rahim, a communications expert who has spent more than a decade at the intersection of politics, culture and digital strategy.
